JAMES L. JUDD, OF SYRAOUSE, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF OF HIS RIGHT TO HARRY WIARD, OF SAME PLACE.

PLOW.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 231,810, dated .August 31, 18180. Application led une 26, 1880. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JAMES L. JUDD, of the city ot Syracuse, New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Forming the Joints of the Point, Mold-Board, Landside, &e., of Plows, of which the following is a specification.

It is found in practice that considerable labor is required to grind the meeting edges of the several parts at the joints, and especially when they consist of chilled or veryhard metal castings. I remedy this difficulty in the following way, which at the same time serves to Astrengthen and give stability to the union of rest, and along the meeting edges ofthe point (see Fig. l) and other parts, the under or in side is chamfered off at the meeting edge b to it said rib a, as is clearly seen in the h'gures 011 the drawings, by which the edge at the joint is made thin, so as to be readily and expeditiously ground and fitted with a minimum amount of labor. while the thin edges, when i n place, are firmly sustained bythe rib a aforesaid, as is clearly illustrated in Fig. 4, which also aids to keep the parts steadily' in place vwhen screwed together.

' Having thus` fully described my device, I claim 1. In a plow frame or seat, the rib a, formed on the seat along the line ot'junction of the superimposed parts, as and for the purposes specified.

2. The combination ot the ribs a and chamfered edges b in plow-castings, substantially as and for t-he purposes specilied.
